Works with the central control you already own
Know what your irrigation actually did last night
Droughtless watches every zone, catches the stuck valve or dead line in hours, and only alerts you when it’s real.
ONBOARDING A SMALL NUMBER OF PROPERTIES THIS YEAR
The problem
Irrigation doesn’t fail loudly. It fails quietly.
The controller shows green. The first real sign is a dead tree or an ugly bill.
The valve that runs all night
A main breaks. Nobody tells you. It runs every night until someone happens to walk past.
The zone at 60%
Water still flows, so nothing flags. Weeks pass before anyone connects the dots.
The tree on a dead line
A clogged emitter shows nothing for two months. When the canopy turns, it’s too late.
The warnings nobody reads
Hundreds of alerts, almost all noise. The one that mattered scrolled past too.
What Droughtless does
It watches every zone, so you don’t have to
Failures caught in hours, not months
It knows what every zone should be doing — flow, pressure, moisture — and flags the moment reality drifts. A handful of alerts a season. Each one real.
Watering that doesn’t need babysitting
Schedules built from your soil, your slopes, your watering days. When rain comes, it stays off — and stays off long enough.
Proof for whoever asks
Board reports, city filings, budget variance — generated from live data, delivered on schedule.

Why trust this one
Burned by a “smart” controller before? Fair.
The ET feature that didn’t stay off. The test plot that cooked the trees. The crew that went back to manual. Droughtless is built for that skepticism.
It starts as a draft you correct
We build the first map from satellite imagery. You mark it up — that zone’s drip, not spray.
It earns control before it gets control
60 days beside your current schedule, controlling nothing. You judge it on what it caught.
Override anything, anytime
Rain delays, blackout days, a zone pinned to manual — your rules always win.
Getting started
Three steps. No homework.
A free assessment from a satellite photo
We draw your zones from imagery and build a working model at the desk. No site visit, no forms, no as-builts required.
Sixty days of shadow mode
It runs beside your current schedule, controlling nothing. You see what it found and what it would have saved.
Flip the switch
It takes over: waters right, catches failures, flags what matters. You monitor, not manage.
For the person who signs off
The numbers the board and the city actually ask for
Budget variance, in dollars
36 months of watering against budget, on one page. It turns “the bill seems high” into a decision.
Compliance, handled
Checkups, assessments, drought-stage changes — whatever your city calls them, filed on time.
Savings you can defend
Where and when, zone by zone, from meter data — not a brochure estimate.

A working model of your property, built from satellite imagery — including where we’re wrong, so you can correct it. No site visit, no hardware, no commitment.
